About the book
Alex Marwood's thriller is set in a run-down house of bedsits at 23 Beulah Grove in south London, where tenants pay cash for their rooms with no lease and no credit check. All six residents are hiding something. Collette and Cher are both on the run, Thomas keeps reluctantly to himself, an Iranian asylum seeker hides from view, as does a quiet man nobody notices, and Vesta believes she watches over everyone, while a lecherous landlord rules the house. The story unfolds during a stifling summer heatwave. None of them knows that one of the six is a killer already closing in on the next victim.
Stephen King said it is even better than Marwood's The Wicked Girls, calling it scary as hell and praising its characters.

Stephen King (Best-Selling Author)
If you read Alex Marwood's THE WICKED GIRLS, her new one--THE KILLER NEXT DOOR--is even better. Scary as hell. Great characters.
